Ascendant is a colorful, original platformer that desperately needs more content.

Don’t Starve is addictive like a drug, you can’t go cold turkey on it that easily. Just when you think that Klei Entertainment is out of surprises, the next update turns everything upside down. And now Reign of Giants offers even more opportunities for crazy survival experiments.

If you’re looking for a good hex-based wargame, don’t fall for the unusual card mechanic - go look somewhere else.

A weird, twisted take on a horror game that combines excellent gameplay ideas with truly horrendous mistakes. It’s brilliant and disgusting at the same time, but, alas, the latter prevails.

The core concept of Epigenesis is okay, but the team did not have the resources to turn it into a decent game.

Dungeon Defenders Eternity is not so much an enhanced edition but rather an amusing different take on the same concept.

I would have liked to write anything positive about this game, maybe mention untapped potential or hope for a better sequel, but Industry Empire is impossible to either love or hate. It produces zero emotions except for a hint of somewhat pleasant boredom.

Mount Your Friends is good only if you want to shock and stupefy your guests at a party. This game is fun for the first 15 minutes. After that, don’t even try to look for variety here. Even if it were a free Flash game, it would have been crushed by more creative (Climb), witty (Double Hitler) and absurd (Realistic Summer Sports Simulator) brethren.

Global Outbreak is a typical denizen of the mobile realm who wandered into the land of PC. Along the way, it lost microtransactions, got better graphics, new interface, a handful of minor improvements and a subtitle Doomsday Edition. Yet this weird hybrid of X-COM and Alien Shooter is still lame in both legs.

Frontline: Road to Moscow is a decent choice for newcomers to the wargame genre. Just keep in mind that there are much better games around on both PC and mobile platforms, like Panzer Corps and Unity of Command.

Heroes of a Broken Land is smart, hardcore enough to be fun and quite charming, and it could have become a hit if its creators did not pursue the procedural ”infinity”. Ten hand-made dungeons would have been much better than billions of generic ones. So, enjoy the first few hours of game, take a tour of all the landmarks and then leave the game mid-campaign.

All elements of Tiestru coexist in harmony as they’re all pure, undiluted garbage.

Unfortunately, the designers decided to up the difficulty by unleashing large numbers of slow-moving, very thick-skinned monstrosities, more and more with each wave. Thus, rocket launchers pretty much dominate the battlefield. Way to kill the interest!

Even if Last Knight were the only ‘endless runner’ in the world, it still would not have been worthy of your time.

The process here is so mindless that, just out of curiosity, I recorded all my keystrokes, and the resulting macro automatically cleared the whole first dungeon and swiftly dealt with its boss. Too bad that you can’t mute the sound effects, otherwise I’d have just left my computer to entertain itself.

Warmachine: Tactics is a promising game, but I would not advise buying it in its current state. Let the developers fix its numerous flaws first.

Sproggiwood is cute, but there is not enough substance to keep you interested after a couple of hours.

If you value your mental health, keep away from Cargo 3 as far as possible.

It will take you just a couple of days to try every character, go everywhere and conquer everyone. Without a decent single-player campaign, there is no incentive to come back and save the Multiverse again.

There is no point in spending time and money on Lords of the Black Sun. It’s not that bad, but there are much better alternatives available now.

If you want to buy Hail to the King: Deathbat — buy the album, not the game.

Without coffee, the hero can literally fall asleep during a chase. I don’t blame him, since I had the same feeling while playing the game.

You don’t have to invent anything new to achieve success — just take the best ideas from your competitors and wrap them in a slick package. Dekovir Entertainment did that in Craft the World, and I don’t want to criticize them for this approach, as the end result is a nice game.

If you’re willing to give this game a chance, make sure to try the demo first before opening your wallet.

Please try to bear with the game’s uncomely look. It is worth it. Bleak and plain, Particle Mace will not let you go once you start playing it.

Viking Conquest’s multiplayer mode pales in comparison to the expansive, highly detailed, albeit somewhat flawed single-player campaign. It’s not downright bad, it just doesn’t offer anything new, and there are too few servers online. So, if you’re going to the unforgiving Nordic lands, do it for the story.

“Objective: play for fun”, the game tells you after you’re done with the career mode. Alas, there’s no such thing as fun in Chaos Ride.

If you’re not a fan of the «early access» concept, don’t rush to buy Caribbean. It’s a good game in its core, it’s just not ready yet.
